Roger was a good neighbor and a sweet man. It was always a pleasure to talk to him while he was out for a bike ride in the condos. He listened to you. He will definitely be missed!

Grandpa Clark always had a smile on his face and always loved to talk about sports, life and loved his family very much. Heaven gained an amazing person. He is now with Grandma and his Great Grandchildren Meagan & Brady. RIP Grandpa! Love you!
